Please for the love of god have a human write something that you expect other humans to read

"The gap became the north star" is written large enough though: I could read it with my own Aieyes!

It's also the only sentence I read on that page before closing it, of course.

Quite interesting to see no real comments here for 50+ minutes, so I will kick it off. I'm a huge believer in this future of software. Having the UI layer completely abstracted from pre-written code and dynamically generated "on the fly" based on the context of the user is, I believe, the future. Just think about the complexity of localization and how many IFs you had to write to solve different language versions, et…

IFs! Oh no! Throwing all of this into a non-deterministic and expensive black box is making it less complex, you say?

> Interfaces must be generated in under a second Why? Is two seconds too long? Would your other constraints be easier (usability and hardware spec) if this was longer? Does anyone actually need a UI generated in under a second?

In Generative UI, the interface needs to built in realtime based on context and intent of the user. Hence the constraints. Ideally we are targeting sub 500ms to compete with current software.

Do you hate the designer changed the UI of your favorite app so you have to relearn it every three months? Congrats! Now you need to relearn it every time you open the app.

That's why I have my own model restyle the delivered UI to my preferred UI.

The goal of generative UI should be to make software more personal while preserving the workflows people already know. Two users might have very different interfaces, but each should have a consistent experience over time.
